:ethyl 4-iodobutanoate
Description:
Ethyl 4-iodobutanoate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, derived from the reaction of butanoic acid and ethanol, with the presence of an iodine atom at the fourth carbon position of the butanoate chain. Its molecular formula is C6H11I O2, and it typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor. This compound is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chain. Ethyl 4-iodobutanoate is often used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, owing to its reactivity as an electrophile in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, it can serve as a building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules.
